Abstract

This work proposes AMIS, an edge computing-based adaptive video streaming system. AMIS explores the power of edge computing in three aspects. First, with video contents pre-cached in the local buffer, AMIS is content-aware which adapts the video playout strategy based on the scene features of video contents and quality of experience (QoE) of users. Second, AMIS is channel-aware which measures the channel conditions in real-time and estimates the wireless bandwidth. Third, by integrating the content features and channel estimation, AMIS applies the deep reinforcement learning model to optimize the playout strategy towards the best QoE. Therefore, AMIS is an intelligent content- and channel-aware scheme which fully explores the intelligence of edge computing and adapts to general environments and QoE requirements. Using trace-driven simulations, we show that AMIS can succeed in improving the average QoE by 14%-46% as compared to the state-of-the-art adaptive bitrate algorithms.
